Twin Falls Cliff is a climbing area in New York, about 0.2 miles from the town of Clarksboro. It is a small, compact crag with eight routes, and the closest town makes it an easy stop for climbers already in the area. The routes here run from about 5.6 to 5.12d, with most in the 5.9 range. Six are traditional, one is mixed and one is sport. The hardest is Jeff-James at 5.12d, and the easiest is Egg! at 5.6. Twin Rises is the sport route, and Fancy Feet and Elusive Bastard are trad options in the 5.10a to 5.11b range. Summer is the most comfortable time to climb. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 55°F, while January highs average about 29°F. For time off the rock, Stammer Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 8 miles away.
